DR. MARJ HENNINGSEN AND COLLEAGUE LAMA MARJI, in partnership with Hong Kong-based IBE (International Bilingual Experts), facilitated the GME Student-Led Inquiry Institute in Beijing and Wuxi China during the month of October.  Over 30 participants in each site experienced the light and shadow atelier as a rich hands-on inquiry experience to reflect on throughout the institute.

The Beijing institute (Oct. 20-22) was hosted by Xin Fugue International Academy with participants from all over the north of China.  Our Wuxi experience (Oct. 27-29) with participants from Shanghai, the Yangtze river delta region, and as far as Hunan Province was hosted by LTSK International Kindergarten of Wuxi with the kind and generous support of Meliora Education Group.   Dr. Marj and Lama also spent the week prior to the Institute working closely with the leaders and teachers at LTSK to launch our new project transforming the school to meet its goal of becoming an IB World School.
